How do I review uploaded SWMS and documents in BuildPass?

Review compliance documents, including SWMS and insurance, submitted by your companies so your projects stay safe and audit-ready.

Written by Joanna Zervakis

When companies upload project documents, they sit in a review queue until a BuildPass admin approves them. Reviewing documents confirms they meet your requirements before workers can sign on and get to work.

Reviewing a SWMS

SWMS must be reviewed and approved before workers can acknowledge them as part of the sign-on process.

Step 1 — Open the project

Select the relevant project from the project list in the top left corner.

Step 2 — Navigate to the To Review section

From the project overview, scroll down to the To Review section. Any SWMS awaiting review will be listed here.

Step 3 — Open the SWMS

Select the SWMS you want to review to open the document details.

Step 4 — Complete the review checklist

On the right-hand side, you'll see the BuildPass SWMS Review Checklist, a default checklist to help you confirm all requirements have been met.

Work through each item in the checklist. If something is missing or incorrect, select the relevant field, add your notes, and save before continuing.

Step 5 — Approve or request changes

Once you've completed the checklist, you have two options:

  • Mark as Reviewed — approves the SWMS. Workers will now be able to view and sign it as part of their sign-on or induction.

  • Request Changes — sends an email back to the subcontractor with your checklist notes attached, so they know exactly what needs to be updated before resubmitting.


Reviewing insurance and other documents

Step 1 — Open the project

Select the relevant project from the project list in the top left corner.

Step 2 — Navigate to the To Review section

From the project overview, scroll down to the To Review section and select the insurance or other document you want to review.

Step 3 — Review the document

Open and check the uploaded insurance document to confirm it meets your requirements.

Step 4 — Mark as reviewed

If you're satisfied with the document, select Mark as Reviewed to approve it.

Repeat this process for any remaining insurance or other documents in the queue. You can also view outstanding documents by navigating to the specific module in the left-hand menu of your BuildPass account.
